“Incredible service and excellent communicator! Very prompt and took care of our doggos wonderfully! I’ve already rebooked her for multiple occasions! I highly recommend her to everyone!!”
“We were traveling for nearly two weeks and were understandably nervous about leaving our pets, but Jennifer was amazing and quickly put our minds at ease. She was responsive, communicative, and regularly sent photos and updates throughout our trip. What stood out most was that her daily updates included thoughtful observations about our pets' personalities and behavior, which made it clear she was spending quality time with them and getting to know them. It was so reassuring to know our senior dog and crazy cat were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Jennifer also took great care of our home while we were gone, including watering our plants, which we really appreciated. We will absolutely be reaching out to Jennifer for our future pet-sitting needs, and highly recommend her to other anxious pet parents.”
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“We wanted someone to watch our dogs on the 4th of July because our dog gets scared of fireworks. We had never left him before for the 4th, but Alyssa did such an amazing job being there for our doggos!! She kept us updated with pictures and did a tremendous job!”
“We are so lucky to have Emily as a sitter! She protected my Sheltie by picking him up and running with him when a loose dog started charging toward them. Grateful beyond words. I highly recommend her!”
“Melissa was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. She was very pleasant, easy to contact, and frequently updated me on the status of my pups. I will 100% book with Melissa in the future!!(:”
“Randall was amazing! My cat and dog absolutely loved him. Randall sent me pictures and kept me updated multiple times a day. Im already lining up dates in the future for him to watch my babies.”
“Here’s a polished, glowing review you can use: ⸻ Laurie was absolutely incredible! She stepped in for us at the very last minute and handled everything with such calm professionalism. Our dog, Archer, can be a bundle of nerves, but Laurie had the patience of a saint. She treated him with so much kindness and understanding. We are so grateful for her flexibility, her gentle approach, and the genuine care she showed. Highly recommend Laurie to anyone—especially those with anxious or high-energy pups. She’s truly the best!”
“Erin is a great sitter. Fantastic communication and Rally was well cared for and she took great care and sent regular updates. We look forward to having Erin sit for us again soon.”
“This was myy first time with a dog sitter and it was beyond my expectations! During Jennifer's meet and greet she took copious notes she shared them with me later. During her stay she was in constant communication which I preferred. Here's where we went beyond she played sniff and puzzle games with my dogs. Helped make adjustments with potty time to greatly reduce accidents that I was struggling with and taught one of my dogs how to sit nicely and not beg during treat time. I highly recommend Jennifer!!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, horses, fish, and some reptiles. I am an animal lover through and through, so whatever kind of pet you have, I promise to care for them as if they were my own. I am great at following instructions, so even if it is a new type of critter I haven't met before, I will provide care exactly as you direct. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, diabetes management, blind and/or deaf animals, and other medical care. I am not deterred by special needs animals. If you can show me how to perform the necessary tasks, I can do them. I will ensure that your babies get their special diet, their meds (pills or injections), their specific bedtime routine, or even just their exact required number of belly rubs and forehead kisses to keep their routine as steady as possible. I love sending photos and updates so that you know your pet is happy and healthy while you are away. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I work fulltime Mon-Fri. I can visit before I go to work in the mornings, anytime during evenings and weekends, and I can do midday check-ins for a quick potty break or medications on my lunch break. I am currently only offering services in the client's home. I will care for your pet carefully according to your instructions and will be respectful of your home and privacy. I will make sure everything is locked up behind me before leaving and if you want me to turn the porch light on at night or bring in your mail, etc. just let me know!
“Erika is awesome with our puppy Lola. She has been timely, reliable and trustworthy. We feel comfortable and happy knowing our puppy is in safe hands! We have enjoyed getting to know and working with Erika and we would recommend her to other pet owners!”
“She was great with the animals even with our lengthy instructions. Took very good care of our house and sent pictures everyday with updates of what they were doing. Definitely recommend using her!”
“Karrie did a great job and caring for Chase and the house! When we got home Chase was his happy self and really seemed like he enjoyed Karrie’s company. The house was well taken care of as well!! Would definitely book with Karrie again!”
“Thanks so much for accommodating my last minute booking and taking good care of the pups while I was out of town! So nice getting pics and knowing pups are well cared for while being gone.”
“Kelli provided exceptional care for my Chihuahua, Hazel Fay, and my cat, Sharona Joy, while I was away. From the moment I left, I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She sent me daily photos and even a sweet video of Sharona Joy happily playing with her favorite fish toy, which made my day every time. Kelli also took excellent care of my garden by watering my plants. My pets eat a raw diet, which requires extra preparation and cleanup at every meal, and Kelli handled it with great attention to detail. She truly went above and beyond by washing my bed sheets and towels before I returned home, making it even easier to settle back in after my vacation. What impressed me most was Kelli's incredible work ethic and the genuine love and compassion she showed my animals. She was able to spend all day with them, giving them the attention, companionship, and care they needed. Knowing Hazel Fay and Sharona Joy were so well cared for allowed me to completely relax and enjoy my vacation. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelli to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and truly caring pet sitter. She exceeded every expectation, and I will gladly hire her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pleasant Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pleasant Valley on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,490 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pleasant Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pleasant Valley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pleasant Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pleasant Valley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
